You aren't kidding about the price of scrip adex even generic anastrozole is almost $9 for 4 pills with my insurance.

Whaaaaaaat?!? My adex is super cheap thru insurance. I thinks it's under 10 dollars for like 30 pills maybe more I forget. Try the good rx app it's probably cheaper using it.

I'm hoping that this is low enough for him to prescribe test, still waiting to hear back from him.

That # should be low enough, depends on the doctor. A trick I learned from an old issue of Muscular Development is to take Tagamet before getting bloods. I would take 1 the night before and another 1-2 hours before. Probably works for heart burn, but definitely crushes endogenous test levels.

My test was around 425 which wasn't low enough for treatment. Yeah go figure. But my Doc did a free test lab which got me on trt since it came back at 4. Average being 10-25 for my age.

Not exaggerating man, I couldn't believe how much it was at that particular time. But, after that I never bothered picking it up again, and insurance wouldn't let me get more than 1mg every two weeks or something like that. I still have the sole tablet sitting in my supplement basket, haha! Glad you were able to get a better deal though.

Haha I laughed pretty hard that you still have that one tablet it's a keeper!!

When I started trt, total T was 750 but free T was 43 and bio-available was 81. With the latter two numbers and symptoms I was experiencing, I was able to convince Dr. to put me on trt.

wow, total t 750! that's what I would like to get mine up to! My dr hasn't done a free test yet, I'm hoping that my low level will be enough.

Wife or kids can mistake androgel for lotion, stick with the injections.

the dr said he would follow up in a couple of days, it's been a week now.i don't want to look to eager to be on test, but should I call him or wait for him to call me?
